Tod’s capsule collaboration with Mame Kurogouchi melds Japanese craftsmanship with Italian style
Inspired by modular clothing the collection melds versatility with the signature style and palette of young Japanese designer Maiko Kurogouchi – think curved sleeves and elongated cuffs, blacks and navy blues
Looking for new items to add to your summer wardrobe? Then you should check this out. Mame Kurogouchi has been announced as the collaborator for Tod’s latest T Factory project. Mame Kurogouchi – founded by young Japanese designer Maiko Kurogouchi – will be offering a womenswear capsule collection that incorporates Japanese craftsmanship and Tod’s Italian style.
The collection, inspired by modular clothing and accessories made for travel, comprises versatile dresses, outerwear, shoes and bags.
A field jacket with curved sleeves and elongated cuffs represents Kurogouchi’s signature style, and so do the collection’s colours of navy blue and black. Tod’s artisanal skills can be seen on the leather embroidery that echoes the traditional Japanese kogin-zashi quilting on flat sandals.
But if you’re only out for one thing, make it the fresh take on Tod’s iconic D-Styling bag, reinterpreted with a sophisticated bowling bag silhouette.
